The group show Single Serving is on tap at Tangent Lab this month, serving up a single piece of artwork from several prominent local artists, all of whom have shown at the gallery before. The festivities kick off at 7pm during the Final Friday gallery crawl for May. Make sure to be here at 10 p.m. to hear the artists talk about their work during our 10@10 gallery talk series.
